The INTER free kick 2 minutes into the match seemed wasted, as the shot was both short and off target. But was this actually a plan? The ball landed at the feet of R. Giráldez, who was completely unmarked in the box. That's 0 - 1! After 12 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for P. Capo who increased INTER's lead to 0 - 2. 19 minutes in, INTER's A. Kirilov received a yellow card for going into a challenge studs first. granaerd supporters cheered as good work down the right got the ball to T. Casadeval who reduced the visitors' lead after 25 minutes to 1 - 2. After 28 minutes of play, M. Murgadella equalised for granaerd after an elegant attack from the right. 33 minutes into the game, R. Giráldez had a great chance to put his team ahead, but his kick from the left went wide. The teams went for the halftime break at 2 - 2. Possession in this half belonged to INTER, who controlled the ball 58 percent of the time.

INTER's C. Cioflică gave the visitors a 2 - 3 lead after 63 minutes with a superb strike from the right. granaerd's T. Casadeval got himself booked for a foul. 翟. 瑞庆 (Ruiqing)'s knee will be throbbing for days, but thankfully for INTER, he bravely continued in the match. INTER's R. Giráldez was shown a yellow card after 78 minutes for slicing down an opponent. granaerd were forced into a substitution as J. Vallespir couldn't continue due to some rough treatment, forcing P. Gorrite to come in off the bench. With the scoreboard showing that 80 minutes had been played, INTER nearly put themselves up another goal after P. Capo came through on the left. Fortunately for the home crowd, the keeper made the save. After 83 minutes, INTER's P. Capo burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 2 - 4. The players of INTER now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. After the ball was lifted in from the left, J. Medrano Gil was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 84 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. Having been awarded a free kick in an awkward position after 85 minutes, granaerd did not go for a shot but instead fired the ball hard into the 6 yard box. After a brief tussle with his marker, T. Machmachi was able to power the ball past the keeper to make the score 3 - 4. INTER had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

R. Dols performed admirably for granaerd. S. Ramos Rubio on the other hand, had a terrible day. INTER's top performer was clearly P. Capo. However, M. Hedilla made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 3 - 4.
